The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has urged the
national leadership of the party to punish the Senate President, Bukola
Saraki, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara,
for anti-party activities.
Lagos APC, in a statement by its publicity secretary, Mr. Joe Igbokwe,
said it was saddening that Saraki could ‘jump into bed’ with the Peoples
Democratic Party in his desperation for power.
Igbokwe described the re-election of Senator Ike Ekweremadu as the Deputy Senate President as an embarrassment to the APC.
The statement read, “The purported election of Senator Saraki and Dogara
as the Senate President and Speaker respectively, is a clear
transgression of both the tenets of democracy and party politics. At
this early stage, the APC must come down strongly to mete out sanctions
and punishments against treacherous members that perpetrated this ugly
charade at this early stage of the party’s life and history.
“As a party and given the circumstances of our present politics, the APC
stands no risk of being eroded by this treachery. Rather, we see the
clear road to enforce discipline in the treacherous conduct of some
members of the National Assembly.
“We see the need for the party to wield the big stick now to send a
message home that treachery will not profit those who might want to cash
in on similar circumstances to spite the party and cash personal
benefits in the long run. It is certain that these betrayers are not
members of the APC and we feel the party must weigh in now and
discipline these betrayers.”
